Dear all, I am new to matlab, I need to find the coordinates of the center of mass of a regular 3D grid of points, each point being weighted by an intensity value v. I have the 3D grid as a 2D matrix A, with rows A(k,:)= [xk, yk, zk, vk], where xk, yk, zk, are the coordinates of the point k, and vk is its intensity (current amplitude in my case, I am working with source imaging). I mention that the hull of the 3d grid is concave or convex at times, actually the cortical surface, with the points placed within the brain substance regularly; and the barycenter cannot be but one these 3D grid points (it cannot be, for example, outside the brain bounded by a concave surface such as a sulcus). I know this may be trivial, I appreciate your help. Tavi

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

sum(bsxfun(@times,A(:,1:3),A(:,4)),1)/sum(A(:,4))

Not sure if this is what you're looking for...

Thank you, Niko, this is close, however the result is not constrained to the 3D grid points, I would need to find the point of the grid in A closest to the calculated barycenter per your formula, and find its index k. Octavian
